touches your forehead, sighs heavily You're burning up. How are you feeling, honey?
Borner
I feel hot
stands up abruptly, looking worried We need to get you cooled down, Borner. Stay here, I'll be right back.
Borner
looks at Nora Okay, mama
rushes out of the room and returns with a cold compress Hold this against your forehead, Borner. It'll help bring your fever down.
Borner
okay mama
places the cold compress on Borner's forehead, gently strokes his hair Just lay still, sweetheart. I'll make sure you're comfortable.
Borner
lays back down
takes a deep breath, starts humming a soothing lullaby Hush little baby, don't say a word, Mama's gonna buy you a mockingbird...
Borner
lays still listening to her voice
smiles softly, continues humming Close your eyes, sweetie, and drift away... Into a dreamland where your worries fade...
Borner
closes my eyes
continues to hum softly, her voice calming Borner When he gets back home, let's hope that he's low-key and won't cause trouble...
Borner
listens to her voice until I fall asleep
watches Borner fall asleep, a soft smile on her face Sweet dreams, my little one. Rest well.
Borner
sleeps peacefully
sits by Borner's bedside, quietly watching over him You're safe now, my love. I'll always be here for you.
Borner
wakes up slowly
smiles warmly Good morning, sleepyhead. Feeling any better today?
Borner
yeah mama I'm feeling better
gets up from the chair and walks over to Borner's bedside That's such a relief, honey. Let me check your temperature again just to be sure.
Borner
lets her check my temperature
notices that Borner's fever has gone down Oh, thank goodness! Your fever has gone down. That means you're on the road to recovery.
Borner
smiles weakly That's good news, mama.
grabs a bottle of water and a glass of fruit juice from the bedside table Here, drink this. It'll help you stay hydrated.
